Benefits of technology

[0011]Variations of the foregoing construction are possible. Nonetheless, an impact absorbing striking tool of the present invention is of sufficient mass to effectively impact a target object, while simultaneously absorbing much of the impact energy that would otherwise be undesirably transferred to the user. While it is possible to impact an object by swinging an impact absorbing striki...

Problems solved by technology

In some situations, a hammer of common design cannot be employed due to space constraints that prohibit effective swinging.
As can be easily appreciated by one of skill in the art, the forceful contact of a hammer or other striking tool with a target typically generates recoil and other...

Embodiment Construction

)

[0019]One exemplary embodiment of an assembled impact absorbing striking tool 5 of the present invention can be observed in FIGS. 1-2b. As shown, the impact absorbing striking tool 5 includes a body portion B having a forward, impacting section 10, and a rear cap 80. The impacting section 10 of this particular embodiment comprises a substantially cylindrical body having a closed, striking end 10a, and an open, rearward end 10b. Non-cylindrical shapes are also possible. The impacting section 10 is also shown to include an axial bore that extends from the open end 10b toward the closed end 10a thereof so as to form a cavity 15 within the impacting section. The cavity 15 terminates at some distance from the exterior striking surface 20 of the impacting section 10. A rearward end of the cavity 15 terminates in a threaded counterbore 25 that extends inward from the open end 10b of the impacting section 10.

[0020]Preferably, but not necessarily, the cavity 15 is at least partially filled ...

Abstract

A straight line impact absorbing striking tool for impacting an object. The striking tool may have a multi-piece construction, and may be partially filled with a flowable high-density material and/or may include a spring-loaded handle to help absorb impact recoil energy that would otherwise be undesirably transferred to the hand(s) and arm(s) of a user. At least a striking section or striking surface of such a tool may be comprised of a material that will not mar or otherwise damage an impacted target object.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]The present invention is directed to a striking tool that can be used to impact an object without causing damage thereto. More particularly, the present invention is directed to a straight line striking tool that also absorbs impact forces during use.[0002]Striking tools for impacting objects or work surfaces are well known in the art. For example, various hammers have been created specifically for this purpose. Such hammers typically have a head for performing the actual striking function and a handle extending at or near a right angle therefrom for gripping by as user.[0003]In some situations, a hammer of common design cannot be employed due to space constraints that prohibit effective swinging. As such, inline or straight line hammers have been developed that permit use in a more compact space. Unlike a typical hammer, which is swung by its extending handle, a straight line hammer is designed to impact a target while being propelled along a path substantially para...
